Lowko, I know you probably hear this a lot, but you are genuinely one of the most entertaining casters to ever do it. You make my Day, and I’m sure many other people’s day leagues brighter with every upload. Thank you for continuing to do what you do and I wish you the best
When I watch him I feel like I can rank up to diamond! (I’m platinum lol)
@@mrwolf9095 I'm probably silver actually (I've played approximately zero games) but just watching Lowko, Thermy, and Harstem is enough to probably get me through gold lol, hell, maybe plat if I actually tried! But I'm too lazy to learn SC2 so many years later lol.
1😊
Dont zuck that dihk too hard.
I agree, he and rotterdam has the same energy🙌
As a Protoss player Lowko I can confirm we have blocks and blocks of cheese in the morning with our big book of cheese. Written and published by Has himself
Those were some pretty neat protoss openers, honestly.
Moooom! Lowko is doing math in his videos again!
Lowko doing math on video and not messing it up! I'm impressed :D
Ahhh yesss, Lowko video released right before my lunch. It seems my lunch will be tasty af
Same here. Nothing better than lurning dutch with my dinner
Nightwish is Symphonic Metal which is a sub-genre of heavy metal so you're all good @LowkoTV. Speaking of Symphonic Metal, it's a genre dominated by the Dutch actually with the 3 biggest vocalists: Floor Jansen, Simone Simmons and Sharon den Adel all being Dutch, as are the rest of the members of Epica and Within Temptation but not Nightwish, they're still Finns like their original vocalist: Tarja Turunen.
It's great that you're keeping the Starcraft spirit alive Lowko. 👍
I would really love it if Maras saw this cast and Lowkos's comment about naming every map of hers being named after some heavy metal-related stuff, and she would name her next map of an actual heavy metal... And then we could see matches on Iridium, Cobalt, or Niobium :D
I like what you did there 😆
Nice to see old masters coming back and mixing up the meta! Well played!
6:40 I think Classic went Immortals because he saw the Roach Warren wiggling, so he knew Solar was upgrading his Roaches and not immediately going for anything else.
@LowkoTV it's alkyOni, Αλκυόνη is a Greek ancient woman who did something bad and Zeus with Hera turned her into a bird.
High level analysis right from the start! Liking already
10:20 - _THE PEOPLE WANT TO HEAR MORE LOWKO SPEAKING DUTCH. THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN_
Nightwish are symphonic metal. Metal with a symphony. My favourite band, they're amazing live.
I still watch your videos daily. I am an active duty airman in the US Air Force. Sometimes I have to go without internet for a long time and catching up on your videos is something I really look forward to (almost as much as seeing my wife and dog again)
I’m glad your still casting StarCraft 2 without content creators of your caliber I think the game na/eu scene would die
Lowko, best SC2 commentary on TH-cam ❤
When you have been watching her0 and my man Maxpax 🇩🇰 playing Protoss, you really realize how awful some of the micro classic brought in this best of 3, but the match was really entertaining anyway.. 😆 He really hit Solar with something he did not expect
You're not wrong, Nightwish is indeed a Heavy Metal band. To be more precise, a symphonic metal band. This style of metal, Wikipedia says, "features the heavy drums and guitars of metal with different elements of orchestral classical music, such as symphonic instruments, choirs and sometimes a full orchestra, or just keyboard orchestration."
It's Anna - you've seen it once....I think I've seen it about a hundred times and heard the music about a million. That's just life with a little girl who loves that movie and has multiple costumes from it.
Immortals: Classic Rising
Lowko is the best!
What is this? 2017 Protoss ???
Well played Classisc. Pitty to show these builds just before Katowice
Actual question: what would you say makes a unit better in the early game rather than late? I don’t play, so it’s mostly curiosity. Maybe you wanna discuss it on a future cast because I’d love to hear your insights.
This is a complicated topic. Many things play a role. Note each point overlaps with or includes the previous one. Spoiler: If the unit can compete with the marine it is at least decent for the state of the match.
The easiest start is good early game units (GEGU) have good mobility making them good harassment units and offering map control. Early speedlings reign surpreme, they would be the first to exploit maps missing the small ramp at main bases.
GEGU work well in harassing the opponent's mineral line, without being a big investment like dark templars, like two adepts one-shotting a worker or iirc three hellions doing the same, similiar for oracle, widow mine and banshee, marines + medivac, a group of speedlings in your base super early on is a nightmare.
GEGU work well in smaller to medium numbers and are easily produced before some tech is massed by the opponent which outclasses them meaning they can actually fight right now; like any form of gateway units in timing attacks and before stimpack, massed roaches, marine + marauder, reapers, hellions to some degree. Once big economies or a critical tech comes into play these good early game units start falling off.
Good late game units (GLGU) scale well in upgrades and supply cost. Attack & defense upgrades are impactful and they have the range to make them count. +1 attack on stimmed marines with an attack cooldown of ~0.4s and range 6 just massively outclasses +1 attack on 1.34s cd with range 6 for stalkers or +2 attack on 1.43s cd with range 4 for roaches. Upgrades are a convoluted topic in itself given the values are somewhat arbitary and the existance of bonus damage against unity types. Generally speaking the faster the attack speed the better the scaling. To keep this short, and because I cannot be bothered by the math right now, I will neglect defense upgrades here.
GLGU are supply efficient. Marines cost only one supply instead of two for stalkers, adepts and roaches. You get far more damage on the field with two marines than one of the other three especially with upgrades. Hydralisks are somewhat comparable to marines but a lot more expensive while also lacking the combat healing marines receive from medivacs.
Projectile speed is also a factor for overkill and micro to mitigate incoming damage. Stalkers, adepts, marauders, roaches, hydras, they all have a traveling projectile meaning they will sometimes lose damage due to overkill even though the game tries to prevent this; another instance where range is important. They will also die while their projectile is moving. Now marines do not have a projectile. Their damage is dealt immediately and at a faster rate while being able to fit more supply in a smaller space. This makes the marine the best unit in the game. It is great early, and great late in the game, great in low economy/scrappy situations and the game has to be balanced around it. Which brings me to my last point.
GLGU work well either alone or together allowing them to deal with anything the opponent can muster or are straight up a hard counter to what the opponent is doing. Old broodlord + infestor in Wings of Liberty comes to mind or mono knights/paladins in AoE2 or you just run MMM in any Terran matchup.
Now, what makes a bad (late game) unit? The short answer is cost and build time while offering too little staying power for their gimmick. The long answer will be mildly philosophical and could be considered a rant. In SC2 I would argue it is the way the economy functions, how fast it explodes, where it caps out, the resulting amount of damage on the screen it provides and the implications on playstyles. Big units like battlecruisers, carriers and ultralisks suck because this game just does not allow them to function. There is simply too much damage on the field already and too many gimmicks readily available to even be useful as a distraction carnifex allowing other units to do anything elsewhere. Take a look at game 2 of this here series. There is some harassment, a little economic damage - nothing major. Then 9 minutes into the game, when the first real battle happens, one player is almost maxed out with the other well on his way there as well. This is complete insanity. Compare this to any other macro-oriented RTS like Age of Empires and its offshoots, Total Annihilation and its offshoots, or even action/micro-oriented RTS like Command and Conquer series, Dawn of War series, Company of Heroes 1+2, Warcraft 3, Grey goo, or anything else really. None max out this rapidly especially with this little interaction between the players. This means individual units are not worth that much, mobility becomes less important too quickly in a way, and you are better off building something that is massable and can fight or provides some extreme advantage beyond simple high DPS because this is what battlecruisers and carriers are, but, unfortunately, this high DPS is already in play in the form of economy enabling maxed out armies way too early into the game. Hence these units are not only redundant but obsolete. More practically though, a good SC2 unit is one that can compete with the marine which maybe two units can on their own - the siege tank and the lurker, both of which are quite stationary.
What a Classic matchup!
Truly one of the Classic matchups of all time
I learned something, so I smashed like. Also, I genuinely appreciate the reminder to like videos, it helps a lot to remember
I honestly thought "Alcyone" would be spelled as Lowko did but the way map makers spell it would be like "Alceone" or something like that xD
But idk English isn't my mother tongue and mostly doesn't make any sense lol
Lool we Protoss don't make breakfast...
We wake up early, see a Zerg making breakfast and we go over .. hmm like can I.. I'll just take a piece of bacon ooh... Are those eggs you frying 🍳.. let's just go ahead and block that .. 😊
Ha! What a CLASSIC all in!
Protoss players don't eat breakfast... "Well maybe they will have a slice of cheese...but they will start by reading the big Protoss book of BS" -Lowko (best joke of the year?!)
Lowko speaking Dutch is always so hot
Im pretty sure that the glaive adept all in would hit much harder if it was delayed a bit, so that you can get out couple immortals in prism to go with the adepts, so you can easilly shut down roaches and qeens. This way you have pretty much weaker the follow up push, just 3-4 minutes sooner.
Funny thing with these protoss all-ins is they're relatively manageable. But once you send there 1-2 Immortals, the opponent has got a big problem.
P.S.: Zdar! 😂
*daily counter: It has been 0 days since Lowko has mentioned the double baineling nerf
2 + 2 = 8 if we are talking for hatching lings.
I learned something.
Protos start the day meditating mate nothing more nothing less!!!
You and winter are my favorite
is this the first time youtube categorise ur video as SC2
The new soultrain build
classic builds from classic
PvZ and PvT are the must fun games to watch
Alcione it's one of the greatest brazilian singers of all times
The 2nd map is pronounced as Alkueone. Originated from Greek mythology.
I don't understand...
All these Protoss games (I'm a big fan) seem to work.
Then Serral comes along and everyone goes home.... :)
@lowkoTV considering Nightwish as heavy metal... I am not mad, I am just very disappointed!
Today I learned that 2+2=5
Haevymetal? no better Kraftwerk :)
Pretoss needs some nerfs, it is incomparable how little effort toss needs to destroy zerg vs how much skill zerg needs to counter this
Alcione Is in italian the way the daughter of Aeolus Is called so maybe raynor has a hand in the reason why
Oh, hey, the PEGI(ish) rating symbols at the start of the video...
... are making me wonder if SC2 should be marked as Drugs for stimpacks, but nope, it's "illegal drugs, narcotics, alcohol or tobacco", and clearly stimpacks are none of those.
lowko, are you sure it's not pronounced "AL-key-ONE"? =P
Alcyone (Αλκ”ονη) is pronounced /AL-kee-oh-nee/
(H)-alcyone: (H)al - See - own
nightwish is power metal i think not heavy metal
LowKo eats a COUPLE (like 7 of them since he thinks 3 or more means a couple) of boogers for breakfast 🍳
i don't know if this is a compliment or an insult but I can tell from your dutch that you speak a lot of english 🙈
ROFL! Lowko, seems you have had your fair share of getting hatch blocked :)
“Al-see-an” the e is silent
Second!!!!????
😶🌫
Day 5 trillion of waiting for Lowko to stop bringing up the balance patch
First
Among us

Alcione is the name of a brazilian singer. It's a she, actually.
You know what? Technically the Protoss players HAVE TO play cheesey since objectively they're probably (however I hate to admit it) the weakest race.
If you can’t swear then get creative. Like malarkey instead of BS. Etc.
Nightwish is trash
Maybe but it is still metal
@@iTris666 most metal is trash too. Nu Metal, Black Metal, and Reggae Japanese Punk are the only good genres.
